I went to see Magpie Funeral with little if any expectations and was both pleasantly surprised and blown away by the movie. Greg Green, the writer and director, has written a powerful story that will remain with you long after you leave the theater. Go and see this movie. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. You are in for a treat if you do!
Without giving too much away, one of the main characters in the movie is Darren Burrows, who you will recognize from the television show Northern Exposure. He plays a character who loses his friend in a car accident, but despite the subject matter, Green has managed to write a humorous, heartfelt, and touching movie.
A good part of the movie takes place in a cemetery where Burrows meets the other lead character in the movie played by Meredith Shank. Together with Burrows, she gives an outstanding performance. Although I didn't recognize the young girl who plays her daughter, I was impressed by her performance and know I will be seeing more of her in the future.
I would suggest that If you don't know what a Magpie Funeral is, you might want to look it up before going to see the movie. But whatever you do, go see the movie!
